Yes, yes, I know that nobody reads my drivel anyway, but I still feel sort of bad about not having posted anything since mid-December (is that right? I didn’t even look to see when my last real post was.). I’ve been awfully busy with schoolwork. With luck I’ll actually manage to keep some kind of [...]

Wired.com, in an apparent bid for worst science article headline, put this up: Holographic Telecommuting May Soon Be Possible Which, if by ‘soon’ you mean decades from now, then sure. The accompanying article is mostly blah blah blah about how the projector works (which is actually kind of neat) but says flat out that it [...]

I snagged that from here, courtesy of the Libertarian Party. And the dramatic upswing in “likes” on Facebook is, well, a very good thing for the LP. Facebook seems to be this weird indicator of public opinion. People either click like on things because they genuinely like it or because it’s ridiculous and amusing. For [...]

Cars with wings may be just around the corner: WASHINGTON (AP) — If cars had wings, they could fly – and that just might happen, beginning next year. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Mass., says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011. It recently cleared a [...]

BP chair: Sorry for ‘small people’ remark on Gulf – Yahoo! News. VENICE, La. – BP’s chairman has apologized for saying the company cares about the “small people” of the Gulf Coast hit by the oil disaster — a comment met with anger by those who say they are tired of the company’s executives making [...]

What really happens aboard a ‘cougar cruise’? – USATODAY.com. Plain-spoken Jersey guy Chris Alberts, 31, just out of a four-year relationship, is “here to hook up. Period. And I don’t want to hear any of this, ‘I’ve never done this before’ B.S., either.” That’s beautiful. And If I had a dollar for every time I’ve [...]

I have pretty much lost all hope of trying to highlight the fact that things are getting worse. It’s simply become so pervasive and so common place.  People I talk to seem think one of a few things: I have a tin-foil hat hidden somewhere out of sight. The current status quo is ‘fine’ because [...]

Gulf of Mexico oil slick: Sarah Palin fuels anti-British sentiment – Telegraph. Apparently we’re still fighting off the Brits.  Or something. Maybe we’re trying to get the crown out of Canada (for their own sake)? Beats me. Also, this sort of rabble-rabble seems to be early promotional material for her 2012 run at the GOP [...]

Unlike Rob over at To the People, I think this is great: PALMDALE, Calif. — Schoolteacher Shana Richey misses the playroom she decorated with Glamour Girl decals for her daughters. Fireman Jay Fernandez misses the custom putting green he installed in his backyard. But ever since they quit paying their mortgages and walked away from [...]

This Fark.com thread is making me all sorts of stupid happy right now. The arguments about memeology (is that correct?) are funny, but the whole Glenn Beck “controversy” is pure gold. Father_Jack 2009-10-21 02:29:18 PM An-Unnecessarily-Long-Name: So you are saying its ok to take out an add in your hometown Newspaper saying you raped and [...]
